As a lover of Three's Company I was already sold on this one. This is of the "depressed girl has a nervous breakdown" verity of book. A genre I like a lot. The premise for the book also felt like a writing prompt, which honestly, I kinda love. It is just the kind of corny obtuse idea for a book that could match the corny feeling of Three's Company.
The only thing that brought it down for me was how trope-ey it felt at times. If I had a nickle every time an animal died in one of these books to represent the mental illness and non maternal instinct of the main character I could probably buy a nice book with it. I also would have liked more attention taken to the Three's Company life or maybe reconciliation on her past than having a quasi-romance shoved in there. I didn't think there needed to be one.
Anyway I thought it was a colorful and fantastical idea and honestly, I wouldn't mind playing Three's Company now. I get how it is a comfort show after all, most of those 70s sitcoms are.
